And another idea, make scanning parts be actually useful and rewarding! Let us have a chance of scavenging mech parts, and if we find enough, we unlock a new mech! And maybe, just maybe... one of the good mech's that the enemy uses, but which we don't get access to for some reason eg Rifleman, Marauder, Black Knight, Atlas etc.

AFF.
NEG.

I understand your thinking on this, but why would the Clans want anything InnerShere related to Mech parts of Mechs when their mechs far outweigh anything the InnerSphere has?

Nice... have they stopped charging 30 bucks to alpha/beta test yet?

Nope. Them greedy fucks sure as hell haven't .

I also find it quite comical that they are releasing named content updates for their half-assed Early Access garbage. They are treating this like a full release and not like an EARLY ACCESS game. Everything here is bass ackwards but the most comical thing definitely remains how they're charging a $30 entrance fee to EARLY ACCESS (inferior by its very definition) of what will be a FREE TO PLAY game when it is "done" (i.e. when people stop paying them $30 as their head honcho recently admitted).

Too funny...

The pre-alpha for UT4 was one of the best games ever made. The game play was better than the first game. When I read that UT4 was put on the backburner for Crappy fortnite. I was so mad. Epic had a winner on it's hands. Then decide to support a crappy game instead. Then came along Tencent and bought a 40% stake in Epic. Might even be more now. The 1 year exclusives was one of the other nails in the coffin. I will not support Tencent or Epic.

You can still argue it's inflation proof depending when you bought btc. the returns on btc is pretty insane, especially if you buy during crypto winter.

just to be transparent, i don't really own any btc. I prefer the volatility of alt coins.

Yes. The returns that only came if another was more foolish than you. That's the whole argument here. There's no inherent value in these coins that give them worth. Alt coins even more so. That you enjoy the volatility because you buy when they're new gold rushes and sell before they're doge is smart speculation, but totally logically incompatible with your view that they're anything beyond desperate get rich quick schemes that don't respond rationally to standard market forces.

They're beanie babies for tech bros. My buddy made $80k on beanie babies in the 90s. He was smart enough to never think they'd replace the dollar.

Bitcoin Plummets Below $20,000 for First Time Since Late 2020
Recession Proof, Outsized Returns, Inflation Hedge

Thanks, Brandon! His recession, which is weirdly broader than the US yet clearly his fault, brought down crypto, which was constantly sold to us as being recession-proof.
